Kingswinford has a village feel with suburban semis and detached homes on generous plots, many backing onto open countryside. Larger gardens grow larger trees, and sooner or later one will need attention. J and Son Trees and Landscapes provides tree surgery in DY6, from sensible pruning to full removal when it is needed.
We look at every tree on its merits. Some only need deadwood taken out, some a reduction, and a few have to come down. We will give you a straight view of which is which and then do the work cleanly.
A big garden in Kingswinford can hide a problem for a long time. A broad oak, a pair of tall pines or a row of mature hedgerow trees can grow until branches hang above the roof, the drive or the car port, which makes everyone nervous in a gale. We deal with this by selective pruning, thinning to reduce weight, and shortening long limbs that extend towards the house.
Space helps us in Kingswinford, because we can often fell or lower pieces into the garden with plenty of room to work, and that keeps the job more straightforward. Even so, large timber is heavy and unpredictable, so we still section it and control each cut. Having room does not mean taking chances with fences, outbuildings or neighbouring land, which sit closer than people expect in a village like Kingswinford.
Properties on the edge of Kingswinford often have field hedges, mixed boundary trees and ivy growing through them. Boundary growth like this is wonderful for wildlife, which is exactly why we check for nesting birds before cutting. If a nest is in use we leave that section and return when it is clear, rather than disturb it, because breeding birds come before our timetable. This is especially worth remembering in spring.
Boundary trees can also belong to a neighbour or a farmer, so ownership is worth checking before work begins. We can advise what you may reasonably cut back on your own side. As always, ask the council whether any tree has a protection order, since fines for getting it wrong can be heavy, and a quick call settles the question before any saw is started.
Large trees in Kingswinford produce large piles of timber and brash. We chip what can be chipped, take the logs and green waste with us, and leave the lawn and borders in good order. If you want some wood for the fire, we will set it aside. We also cover Wall Heath, Wordsley and Stourbridge, so just ask if friends nearby want their trees looked at too.
Based in Hall Green, so we are never far from the gardens we work in.
We look at the job before we price it, so you know what is involved.
Branches, clippings and rubbish from our jobs are cleared and the garden left tidy.

A reduction done properly is possible, if the cuts are clean and not excessive. We take back limbs to suitable growth points and avoid removing too much in one go. Some oaks may be protected, so check with the council first.
Yes. Access is usually good on these plots, but we still check ground conditions, boundaries and who owns the trees. We also look for nesting birds, which are common in hedges and boundary trees along the countryside edge.
It depends why it leans. A long-standing lean with sound roots may be fine with pruning. A tree that has recently shifted, or has lifted soil around the base, is a danger and is usually safest taken down. We always inspect the tree and the soil around its base before advising you.
